Akanji also shared his optimism about the team's future: "I'm confident about the future and I'm convinced that we can overcome the difficulties and get back on track. Pep Guardiola is an excellent coach with a lot of experience and extraordinary tactical wisdom. Under his leadership, we will surely find a way to solve the problem and win more victories."
The interview fully demonstrated Akanji's sense of responsibility and team spirit, and also conveyed the players' firm belief in Guardiola and the team. It is believed that with the joint efforts of the players, Manchester City will get through this difficult time and continue to show its strong competitiveness in the Premier League.
